Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-2103
Every duty under this chapter and every act that must be performed as a condition precedent to the exercise of a right or remedy under this chapter imposes an obligation of good faith in its performance or enforcement.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Under A.R.S. § 33-2101 et seq. § 33-2103, Arizona law requires that every duty and every condition that must be met before exercising a right or remedy in this chapter be carried out with good faith. This means that neither party to a mobile or manufactured home tenancy may act dishonestly or in bad faith when performing obligations or enforcing rights under the chapter. The rule applies broadly to all duties and preconditions established elsewhere in the chapter, functioning as an overarching standard of conduct.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers operating under Arizona's manufactured housing statutes should be aware that A.R.S. § 33-2101 et seq. § 33-2103 imposes a good-faith standard on every duty they perform and every condition they must satisfy before exercising a right or remedy. Compliant operators generally document their actions, communicate transparently with residents, and avoid pretextual or arbitrary conduct when enforcing lease terms or pursuing remedies. Maintaining consistent, honest practices across all tenant interactions reflects the kind of conduct this provision contemplates.

For Tenants

A.R.S. § 33-2101 et seq. § 33-2103 establishes that tenants, too, are entitled to have every duty and precondition under the chapter performed in good faith — and are themselves obligated to act in good faith when fulfilling their own responsibilities. If a tenant believes a landlord has acted dishonestly or in bad faith when enforcing a right or carrying out a duty, that conduct may be relevant as a defense or claim in a dispute proceeding. Tenants who have questions about whether specific conduct meets this standard may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Arizona manufactured housing law.
